Deciduous Flowering 
SHRUBS 
All Deciduous Shrubs Are Hardy in California 
The flowering shrubs listed in this group will lose their leaves for a 
short time each year. They are the hardiest of shrubs, withstanding 
heat and cold. In fact, their extreme hardiness makes them desir- 
able for mountain homes. Others, because they are not so large, 
can be used where definite height of growth is a consideration in 
the garden. Many produce showy flowers, without which the garden 
would lack much in interest and sparkle.

light application of aluminum sulphate in winter.

rieties. Gal. $1.25, 5-gal. $3.95.

leaves and masses of pink or blue flowers in ball-shaped clusters.

shrub for shaded places. Gal. 95c, 5-gal. $3.50. 
FLOWERING QUINCE 
The old fashioned flowering quinces with their bright red flowers in 
early spring were showy in their day but never equal to the newer 
varieties, now available in several colors. They are much more showy, 
stay in bloom longer, and make fine cut flowers. Very hardy shrubs.
